Black Hole Sun
"Black Hole Sun" is a song by the American rock band Soundgarden. Written by frontman Chris Cornell, "Black Hole Sun" was released in 1994 as the third single from the band's fourth studio album ''Superunknown'' (1994). It is arguably the band's most recognizable and most popular song, and remains a well known song from the 1990s. The song topped the ''Billboard'' Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, where it spent a total of seven weeks at number one. Despite peaking at number two on the Modern Rock Tracks, "Black Hole Sun" still finished as the number-one track of 1994 for that chart. It failed to hit the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart due to the rules of a physical/commercial release of the single at the time, but it still peaked at number 24 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and number nine on the Mainstream Top 40 chart. The song was included on Soundgarden's 1997 greatest hits album ''A-Sides'' and appeared again on the 2010 compilation album ''Telephantasm''.
==Origin and recording==
"Black Hole Sun" was written by frontman Chris Cornell. Cornell said that he wrote the song in about 15 minutes.〔("Gardener's Question Time" ). ''Kerrang!''. March 1, 1997.〕 He used a Gretsch guitar to write the song, and commented, "I wrote the song thinking the band wouldn't like it—then it became the biggest hit of the summer."〔("Chris Cornell – Cornell Gets Prized Guitars Back From Ex-wife" ). Contactmusic.com. March 30, 2009.〕 Cornell came up with the song while using a Leslie speaker. Guitarist Kim Thayil said that the Leslie speaker was perfect for the song as "it's very Beatlesque and has a distinctive sound. It ended up changing the song completely."〔Gilbert, Jeff. ("Sleepless in Seattle" ). ''Guitar World''. May 1994.〕 Thayil said that the song "wasn't safe as milk, but it wasn't glass in someone's eye either. It was the spoonful of sugar that helps the medicine go down. Now it's the 'Dream On' of our set."〔Brambarger, Bradley. ("The Modern Age" ), ''Billboard''. June 8, 1996〕 The song was performed in drop D tuning. Drummer Matt Cameron called the song "a huge departure". Credit is due to Michael Beinhorn and Brendan O'Brien, producer and recording engineer, respectively.
